About This Guide, and the Person Behind It
Independent means something specific here: we work from the registers, the published terms and the public record rather than staged tests, the operator has no edit rights, and every sponsored link is marked. This page is the receipts.
Fenella Blakemore
UK Casino Editor. A decade around the UK gambling trade with two specialisms this site leans on: Flutter's brand estate (who owns what, which wing does what) and payment rails, carrier billing included, which is why the Sky Mobile page reads like plumbing documentation rather than a listicle.
How we research
The licence register, the full offer terms, the published cashier rules and the public payout record, with the operator's enforcement history read rather than skipped; figures are operator-stated where they cannot be independently confirmed. The review's 4.2/5 includes the UKGC fine because a verdict that omits it is an advert; the carrier-billing page prints the caps because the pages ranking for that search mostly do not. Facts carry dates; when offers rotate, pages get re-dated rather than quietly rewritten.
How the money works
Links marked sponsored earn commission on sign-ups. That funds the research hours and the writing; it buys no scores, which is why the fine paragraph and the affiliate links share pages. The disclosure holds the long version; the contact page reaches the editor when we slip. 18+, and the responsible gambling page outranks every commercial line on this site.
